“Yeah, hopefully I haven’t made an ass of myself when you come in for coffee. I’m not the best Barista.” Arlo chuckled. He had not been the most professional barista around either. “How many partners do you have?”

Emmet shrugged, “As far I've seen while I’ve been there you haven’t but then again I just pick up my coffee and go, I don’t typically stay.” At the question Emmet tucked his headphones into his pocket so he wouldn’t loose them. “I’ve got three, we’ve been dating for almost a ear now except one of my boyfriends. We only made it officially a few months ago, it’s a lot i’m sorry I’m rambling. What about yourself? Anyone special in your life?”

“I must be paranoid.” Arlo looked from his earbud back to his eyes. “Need to let some of those thoughts out? I’m a good listener, if you need an ear.” Arlo shrugged. He usually didn’t like to pry, but loneliness was getting to him. “Arlo, Arlo Lovel, I work at the coffee joint in town.”

“With everything going on here it’s not that hard to be paranoid honestly,” Emmet said while laughing softly and finally took out his other earbud. “No no it’s okay, just holidays and stuff.” Emmet reached out his hand to offer a shake to Arlo, “Emmet Graves, I knew you looked familiar. I get coffee for my partners there all the time.”

Arlo was never one to belong anywhere. He had been a lone wolf for a while now, but in this place where lines were drawn and the various packs had to exist inside this bubble, Arlo felt pressured. He didn’t want to be the lone wolf, but he didn’t want to seem desperate, either.

He needed to run, clear his head. It had been rough knowing he could never drift away if thongs got terrible; they always do eventually. He took off jogging through the park, but soon realized he was being followed.

Arlo stopped and whirled around, “why you tailing me, huh?”

Emmet got into the habit of going for a walk in the park whenever he needed to clear his head, it was something to help him and something he used to do before the wall went up. His therapist recommended he should go back to doing it if it helped in the past so he did. He’d grab his headphones and just stroll around while he thought.

He kept his music low, not wanting to disturb others at the park and be alert if needed but he was so lost in thought he hadn’t realized he was accidentally following this person until they stopped and turned around.

“Oh shit my bad,” Emmet took out an earbud and let it just dangle freely. “I swear I wasn’t trying too, I just got lost in thought I didn’t realize you were even there.”

Kai didn’t embarrass easily, but he did feel a little silly when Emmet walked in on him practicing his ‘mad kung-fu skills’ (aka a few cool moves he saw in a movie that he was attempting to replicate.

“Oh. Hey man,” he said, nearly falling over as he quickly righted himself. “Is it time already?” He’d reached out to Emmet to ask if he wanted to hang out, but apparently the time had gotten away from him.

(( @overlashing​ ))

“Hey,” Emmet couldn’t help but laugh a bit as Kai almost fell. “Pretty much, in your defense though I am a little early.” He moved to where Kai was at and sat down on a chair. “Did you figure out what we should do today? I’ve got a few ideas.”

“How are things going with them?” she asked as he spoke about the event being an excuse to hang with his partners. The other had spoken of them before, but she’d never actually met them before, at least not to her knowledge. There was always the chance that she’d crossed paths with them before or that they had come into the candy store.

x

“Good! Great actually. Atlas and Sloane recently moved in but we’re thinking of moving to a different place, kind of something that fits all of our wants.” Emmet smiled, sure his place was nice and big for all them but his partners weren’t too fond of the memories that he held there. “James might move in, if not eventually but we’re taking things slow and when he’s ready too he will. What about you? Anyone special in your life?” He said while softly nudging her arm with his elbow.

[overlashing]

The wolf blinked in surprise.  That….was the first time either of them had used the title boyfriend, at least to one another.  After a moment, a warm smile spread along his lips.  He pulled Emmet to a stop, swooping down to give the other a kiss.  Boyfriend.  Yeah.  He liked the sound of that.

Leaning back, James raised a brow.  “You makin’ fun’a the way I talk?” he groused, though with little heat.  Shaking his head, he let Emmet move ahead to the bar.  Walking up to the bar, he eyed the bottles lining a shelf.  “Know what you’d want?”

x

Emmet was surprised when James pulled him to a stop, thinking he might’ve done something wrong but that quickly went away when James had kissed him which he gladly returned. “What was that for?” He asked curiously.

Still he smiled up at the other and laughed softly, “Maybe a little.” Emmet admitted. He looked at the bottles on the shelf before shrugging. “I’m not sure, I don’t think I’m gonna drink tonight, nothing really sounds interesting.” He leaned against James lightly, wrapping his arm around the others waist. “What about you?”

[overlashing]

detectivegoldstein​:

James let out a snort, shaking his head.  “Please.  Like you’da actually done anything outside’a poutin’.” He let Emmet guide him over to the open bar, smile tugging on his lips.  While the wolf was still on high alert so long as they were inside the palace courtyard, he could admit he was at least having a little fun.  “I bet they got stupid expensive booze,” he mused as they got closer to the bar.  “How much you wanna bet them bottles are probably worth more than my month’s salary?”

x

“Well excuse me for wanting to spend time with my boyfriend,” Emmet said with a pout before catching himself and rolling his eyes. Sometimes James knew him a little too well, even he could admit it was funny at times, “I would’ve found a way to bother you at some point though, at least until you pulled the ‘i’m workin’ card.” He teased.

“I’m not betting shit because I know you’d be right,” He said before finally letting go of James’ hand when they got to the bar, leaning up against it as he looked at James. Emmet couldn’t help but smile as he watched the other, pulling his mask up and resting it on top of his head. 

[overlashing]

“I’ll be sure to pass that on to her” Lark said as he looked at the mask and thanked him for the compliment as he handed it back over. “I don’t know yet. I feel a little out of place here if I’m being honest. It’s all so fancy” Even with her current wardrobe she couldn’t help but feel a little odd and like she just wanted to be sitting on the couch in front of the fire curled up in a warm sweater with some tea. “What about you?”

x

Emmet nodded, understanding feeling out of place. Truth be told he did too, he was only use to it a bit more because of working with Wis and the few run ins he’s had with the royal family. “Yeah I get that, it’s way more than I was expecting in all honesty.” He turned and just people watched for a moment before answering. “Using this as an excuse to be with my partners and friends really, no big plans for me besides that.” Emmet said smiling. 

[overlashing]

detectivegoldstein​:

Looking down to watch Emmet people watching, James couldn’t help the small smile on his lips.  “See any you worked on?” he asked knowingly.  The wolf moved his arm so Emmet could move more easily, returning the gesture.  

“Me too.  Guess I lucked out this place’s got their own security, so I don’ gotta work the night.”  He was working earlier in the day for the parade, running routine traffic and safety.  But tonight he could actually relax and enjoy the time he had with his partners, which was now beginning to include Emmet.  It was funny, wearing the mask gave James a lot more courage to be openly affectionate with the younger man, and with Atlas and Sloane as well.  PDA was something he always struggled with, but the guise of anonymity, no matter how unlikely, helped.  

“Dunno how much longer we gotta wait for those two.  Wanna go get a drink?”

x

“A couple, Wis worked on them mostly so a lot at least look familiar.” Emmet responded with a grin.

He nodded, agreeing with James, “If you would’ve had to work tonight someone's ass would’ve gotten kicked.” He couldn’t help but tease. Would he have actually? No and James knew that but Emmet sure as hell would’ve been disappointed if the royals needed the police for any extra help.

It was nice honestly, being able to spend time with all of his partners and doing something together even if two of them were off at god knows where currently but Emmet didn’t care. James was more than enough of company currently that no one else really mattered around them, except for the exception of a few others.

“They’ll come around eventually but yeah I’m down for a drink.” Emmet grabbed James’ hand as he pulled the other towards the direction of the drinks.

[overlashing]

orchestralcollage​:

“Emmet” Lark smiled as the other made his way over to where she was. “You really think so? I did.” she had her talents, but something like this was beyond her skill level. “I made the mask myself, though” she lifted it up and off and held it out to show him.

x

“Yes I really think so, it looks amazing on you. Whoever made it did an amazing job.” Emmet took the mask carefully and looked at it, admiring how well it matched her dress. “You did a great job, seriously.” He smiled handing the mask back over to Lark. “Any special plans for the night?”

[overlashing]

Emmet had his arm around James’ waist while they waited for Atlas and Sloane to come back to where they were at, the four of them hanging out at least for now. He wasn’t in a social mood just yet, rather just wanting to be around his partners as he looked around and admired everyone’s costumes. Some looked familiar since he’d helped Wis with a few that had been commissioned and others that looked either interesting or cool to Emmet.

Despite being only a few inches shorter than James, Emmet looked up at him with a smile, “I’m glad we all came together.” He said before moving in front of James to wrap both of his arms around his waist now. @detectivegoldstein​

[overlashing]

“Lark!” Emmet exclaimed as he spotted her. He walked up to Lark, lifting his mask up to rest on the top of his head. “Holy shit your dress is stunning, did you have it specifically made?” @orchestralcollage​

[overlashing]

detectivegoldstein​:

The wolf shook his head, waving a hand to the apology.  “Don’ worry ‘bout it.  Figured ya wouldn’ stand me up, given I know where you live,” he teased.  Was he marginally concerned about that happening while he waited?  Maybe.  But he sure as shit wasn’t going to admit that.  

Putting out the cigarette, James smiled.  “Sounds good to me.  Fuck, can’ even remember the last time I did laser tag.  But hey, if anyone’s got it in the bag it’s the cop.”  He wiggled his brows playfully.  “So uh…ready to go in?”

x

Emmet smiled and laughed, “True, if I did you’d probably come over and drag my ass out of the house anyway. Not like I would’ve or complained if you do that.” He waited for James to finish smoking and headed towards the door when he put out the cigarette, grabbing the handle.

He paused as he turned to James who was already being cocky about winning in laser tag which only made Emmet roll his eyes playfully at him, “You wish, I’m a laser tag pro. I can kick your ass in it any day.” He grinned before opening the door for the other, gesturing his hand through the door dramatically. “After you m’lady.” Emmet teased, the grin never leaving his face.
